This Company has been formed for tite purpose of im porting into the English Market, from the southern parts ut. ,, pe and elsewhere, a supply of healthy cattle, for which the rapidly-increasing population of this country, and the naturally great consumption of animal food, present profitable field for a. largely increased supply. The prevailin mortality amongst cattle in this count r y , From pleuro -pneumonia or lung disease, and other distem tra ( :.ctributable, amongst other things, to inef ficient e';.ils of transport), has long engaged the attention of flaientific men, and their reports point to the necessity of c.abtaining i ncrease d su ppli es f r om foreign countries , fr ee fron t the prevalent diseases. Practical men will be employed .. 1 )Y this C om p any t o se l ec t an d purchase cattle in:sui table l ocalities. In order to avoid the great risk hitherto known to ex;et front contact with unwholesome carriages, railway trucks of an improved construction will be retained for the Company a sole use from the ports of debarkation, and well ( naaised depots, with pasturage, &0., will be provided for the reception of the Company's stock. , dairymen this Company holds out gr eat advantages, by Importing Spanish, Jersey and other cows, which have an established reputation as good dairy stock. Th e g razier will also b e benefited by the importation of young and well-con ditioned animals at a moderate cost; and to the consumer the object of this Company will be of the highest import ance, as it secures a supply of foreign cattle tree from dis ease attributable to a want of proper ventilation and stow age on shipboard. From the s t a ti s tical returns, it appears that in the month of December, 1863 (the worst month in the year), there were imported into London alone — Oxen ............................ 8,229 Calves .......................... 1,705 Sheep .......................... 21, 606 821 Pigs .......................... .. 55 110/MS ..........................

Total .................. 32,416 - It will thus be seen that fully 1,000 head of Cattle are daily imported into London from the Continent, proving that the objects of this Company are based upon a great existing commerce, and an increasing demand ; and from a most moderate estimate it appears that a very large profit may be confidently anticipated on the capital of the Com pany, after deducting the expenses of administration (a (let: fled estimate may be inspected at the Temporary Offices of the Company. It is well known that large fortunes have been realised by Cattle Importers, even when their opera tions have been carried on with the present insufficient means of transport, whereby a large portion of their stock become unfit for the markets, and it may be fairly assumed that a well organised tutdertaking. combining a good prac tical management and sufficient capital, will be attended with most profitable results to the Shareholders.

This Company has for its purpose the transaction of the important and remunerative business of Fire Insurance, and that only, to the exclusion of other branches of busi ness not unusually associated with it, under the same direc tion, and operating on one and the same capital. The Directors are satisfied that the scope for the business of fire insurance presented by this country and its dependencies, is, as a commercial specul ation, deserving of paramount attention ; and, the contract being one terminable annually, the profits or loss arising de termine in like manner, year by y e ar, and exhibit at once a c om p an y 's financial position and its resources. While the partial remission of the fire insurance duty now in the contemplation of Government, and applicable only to the insurance of stock-in-trade, will afford a com paratively limited relief from the onereus oppression, the Directors have resolved to allow upon payment for every policy, and afterwards at each renewal, an immediate draw back, which, in many instances, will amount to a total ex. tinction of the entire duty of three shillings per cent. To the public at lae and to the greater proportion of the manufecturing and met cantile community, this arrange ment will prove a highly acceptable a d v antage. The draw back allowed b y a few of the older offices by way of per tentage on premiums, at intervals of years, is of im portance only to those who are rated at premiums ranging chisily from one guinea per cent. upwards, and is partici pated in only by those who may have premiums to be re newed at the period of the 'caking of these returns ; whereas by the principle adopted by this Company, the owners of the cla s ses of risk of the more ordinary occurrence, are they who will be the more substantially and at the same time promptly benefited. The concession to be thus ma de to the public will cers tai n ly b e the means not only of increasing but of in their resp multiplying ec tive amounts insurances no w existing, to a ver y large extent the number of insurance contracts in this country and its colonial connections. The insurable property in th is kingdom including alone, its enormous and increasing imp ortations arisinrom the g f wise interchange of tariffs, is believed to app.roximate to £5,000,060,000, whereas £ 1 , 300 , 000,000 only is insured ', thus leaving nearly three-fourths of the insurable amount altogether unprotected from loss. It would be difficult to find any class of investments which has yielded such largo profits as the shares of well. con ducted fire offices. The shares of the older offices have in creased in value immensely, being, in one case, at a pre mium of a b o ut 1,300, and in another of nearly 2,000 per cent, on the sums originally paid up. The increased value of the shares of offices esta blished within the last 20 years tands at from 80 to 200 per cent. 8 It is under these circumstances, and considering the inns mense field presented for operations to come, that the direc tors have taken advantage of so favourable a n opp ortunit y to offer to the public the benefits of the principle of business now adopted by them; and they have every reason to believe that by its special feature and the public support . which that must necessa ril y invite the undertaking will speedily be productive of the best monetar y results The executive will be entru sted to officers of tried experi ence in the business of fire insurance, and the directors have already matured arrangeme nts for the immediate establish ment of five hundred agencies. The directors desire to give the most unqualified assur ance to the public that no thin g of the nature of frivolou objections to a prompt and liberal settlement of claims for compensation will ever be entertained or countenanced by th em . Forma cf application for shares may be had at the offices of the Company, or of the Brokers, Bankers, or Solicitors. In the event of no allotment being made, the deposit will be returned in full. ..1664. THE BRITISH AND SOUTH AMERICAN STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY (Limited).

The rapid development of steam navigation in long voyages and the recent improvements in marine engines admitting of greatly increased economy in consumption of fuel, make it evident that ere long all the valuable trade • f the world will be conveyed by screw steamers. which, while worked at a comparatively moderate cost, ensure reguiarity of des ateh an I cc, tainty of arrival not attainable by the lastest clipper sailing ships. The Mediterranean, American, and West Indian trades are now almos exclusively establish on b unsubsidised screw steamers, and the resul , ot the ed lines, such as the " Inman," " Bibby," &C., has been highly remunerative to the shareholders. This Company has been formed to establish a line of steam communication between England, Brazil, he River Plate, and the West Coast of South America via the Straits of Magellan. The recent passages of the Pacific Company's boats, which in proceeding to their stations in the Pacific, have performed tie voyage in 35 to 40 days from Liverpool to Valparaiso, calling at Madeira, St. Vincent, and Monte Video, prove the feasibility of this route. 'i he vast extent of trade with the countrieswith which thi Company proposes to open communicat ion ma y be seen from the following statement:— ? exports of British manufactures to Brazil, River Plate, Chili, and Peru, in 1863, amounted in value to The impor a from the West Coast, c , nsisting of bar copper, silver ore, nitrate, wheat, wool, cotton, &c., employ over 2r0,000 tons of shipping annually. From Chili the annual exports of bar copper 15,000 tons are about 19 91 Regulu s 25,000 „ .. Copper ore The annual exprtation of produce from Chili alone is valued at upwards of ......£1.000,000 sterling. It will thus be seen that a large and profitable field exists (as yet unprovided with steam for c ommercial purposes), for the establishment of a I , ne of screw steamers of power suffi cient to ensure certainty of quick passages, and of capacity to take large cargoes, affording at the same time accommoda tion for a yearly increasing passenger traffic to Brazil and to the West Coast. The Company will commence operations with six screw steamships of 2,2n0 tons and 300 horse-power each (having eapacity tor 2,000 tons cargo, 35 days' fuel, and accommoda tion for 50 to 70 firs* and a similar number of second-,lass passengers), leaving Liverpool and Falmouth once a month, calling at Bahia, Rio Janeiro , and Mo nte Video (takinggoods and passengers for Buenos Ayres), thence proceeding via Stra , ts of Magellan to Valparaiso and Lima. Arrangements will be made to take cargo to and from Arica, Islay. and other ports on the West Coast. The vessels are guaranteed to steam 10 knots, and, be ing fully rigged as clipper sailing ships, are calculated to perform the voyage regularly in, say— Falmouth to Rio Janeiro (calling at Bahia) 25 days, Do. Monte Video Do. Valparaiso ........... ......, 50 „ Do. Lima 60 „ The average passage of sailing ships to the West Coast be ing over 90 days. The Chilian Government has long wished to see such aline established, and some years ago offered a subsidy for the pur pose; it is hoped that at the least liber ,1 concessions will be obtained, not only from the Chilian, but also f om the Peru vian Argentin.-, and Br , zil Governments, which will tend to facilitate the opera , ions of the Company. The expense of working such aline has been carefully gone into, and every confidence is felt in recommending this scheme as possessing elements equal, if not superior, to any mercan tile steam line from England. The Pacific Company, though oniyconnected indirectly (via Panama) with England, commenced in 1810 with four small steamers, h- ve.now a fleet of 17 vessels of great power, pay very handsome dividends, and their shares, which originally 'were X5O each, are now quoted at f_Bl, wist in no trade have sailing ships left, more profitable result h s l than in that of the West Coast. The services of a firm well acquainted with the trade, amid the m inagement of screw steamers, have been secured on satisfactory terms, and the business of the Company will be conducted on the most economical scale cous:stent with efficiency. No promotion money will be paid for originating this Com pany, but the preliminary expenses will be confined to neces sary disbursements only. The articles of association maybe seen at the offices of the solicitors to the Company. Applications for shares must be accompanied with the pay ment of the deposit of Ll per share. In case the amount so pa , d exceed £2 per share on the number of shares allotted, the surplus will be returned ; but should it fall short the balance must be paid within the time to be stated in the let ters of allotment, otherwise the allotment will be cancelled and the deposit forfeited. Forms of app ication for shares may be obtained from the bro ere, and at the temporary offices of the Company. In cases where no allotment is made the deposit will be re `tirned in full. FORA!

Pelham, Charles F. Palmer, Thomas E. Symonds, William H. Jones-Byron, end G. M. Smith ; and Lieuts. George B. Goolden, Richard Roche, and Mr. Samuel Winter, paymaster. The gunboats forming the first division of the steam reserve at Portsmouth were yesterday, at 7 30 a.m., signallzd from the flagship to receive their crews and ammunition, and ren dezvous at Spithead fur sea service, At 8 a.m. the Albacore, manned from the Asia, was under weigh, and in another half hour every boat in the:division, comprising the Tyrian, Fancy, Foam, Stork, Albacore, Earnest, and Charger, was clear of the harbour end steaming for Spithead. Here Capt. Scott, C. 8., aide-de-camp to the Queen, and flag captain to the commander-in-chief at Portsmouth, Vice-Admiral Sir M. Seymour, joined the little fleet in the Sprightly steam tender, and, assuming command, led the way outside, 'where a lengthened series of manceuvres under steam was gone through, and the crew exercised in firing. Soon after noon they stood in for the harbour channel, and made an attack on Southsea beach, which was defended by two batteries of field artillery, under review by Lord W. Panlet. . . _ . The Shannon East Indiaman, 1,292 tons register, Capt. C. J. Daniels, R.N.R., arrived at Spithead yesterday morn ing from Calcutta, with the headquarters of the 13th (Ist Somereetahire or Prince Albert's Regiment of Lig._ht Infan try) Foot on board, a few invalids and time-expired men, and a number of private passengers. The 13th consisted of Lieut.-Col. Muter and Mrs. Muter, Capt. Rowley, Mrs. Rowley, and three children, Capt. Williams, Lieuts. Gill, Cox, Brooks and Fenwick, Ensign O'Callaghan, Quarter master Bober, Assist.-Surg. Stewart, 296 men, 17 women, and 17 children. Two soldiers died during the passage. Soon after the arrival of the Shannon her commander received orders to proceed on to Dover, where the 13th are ordered to be quartered, and at 3 p.m. the ship was towed out to the southward clear of the shoals, and recommenced her voyage under all plain sail, with the wind light from S.E. Previously the invalids and time-expired men were landed at Portsmouth. Lieut. W. W. Anderson has been appointed to her Ma• jesty's ship Enryalus as supernumerary. THE ARMY. The Royal Artillery stationed at Portsmouth garrison and field batteries were yesterday inspected on Southsea-com mon by Major-General Lord W. Panlet, C.B. The force assembled on the ground consisted of eight batteries of garrison artillery, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Long den, and the K battery of the 4th brigade and B battery of the 9th brigade, with six 12-pounder Armatrongs in each battery, under the command of Major Milman, the whole force being under the command of Col, Warde, C. 8., the officer commanding the artillery of the garrison and district. The ground was taken up at the south end of the common, the garrison batteries being in the centre, with a field bat tery on each flank. Soon after the force was formed up in position Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet arrived in front of the line, accompanied by Col. Hackwell, Assist-Adjt. Gen. ; Col. Shadwell, Assist.-Quartermaster-Gen.; Capt. Paulet, A.D.C., and Town Major Breton, and was received with a general salute. After he had made a rather minute inspection of the line from right to left the ceremony of marching past was carried out, the field batteries passing first in demi-batteries and the garrison in batteries, and following in batteries of guns in close order and in grand divisions, the field batteries closing this portion of the proceedings by going by at a trot in batteries in open order. Everything had a look of efficiency and seemed worthy the reputation of the royal regiment. As soon as the marching past was concluded the garrison batteries were for a time marched aside, and the field batteries bringing up their guns unlimbered and opened fire from right to left on the line of sea beach on their front. A variety of similar evolutions fol lowed, guns being limbered and unlimberei, and front changed and fire opened in different directions according to the direction of the commanding officer. Considerable inte rest was added to one part of the mimic fight when the bat teries were drawn up in a line parallel with the sea-shore, and were firing rapidly seaward, on the sudden appearance close inshore of eight screw gunboats, which opened a heavy fire upon the field batteries from their 7 and 8 .inch guns. Their deep boom drowned the slighter report of the 12- pounders on shore. Court of Common Council, T Yesterday, at a meeting of the Common Council, held at Guildhall, the Lord Mayor presiding, Mr Alderman Rose called attention to a bill which had been introduced into Parliament for reconstructing the Thames Conservancy Board and adding six new members, three of whom are to represent the shipowners, two the steamboat interest, and one the barge owners. The bill, he said, also provided for the first time for the payment of members of the board, and apportioned a sum of £5OO .a year to the deputy-chairman. He regarded that part of the measure as extremely objec tionable, for this, among other reasons, that the representa tives of the Common Council at the board had always consi dered it an honour to serve the corporation in that capacity. But he has opposed to the whole principle of the bill, inas much as it went completely to disturb a great settlement of long-pending suits between the Crown and the corporation come to only seven years ago, and which established the Conservancy Board on its present basis. Mr Thorpe, deputy-chairman of the Conservancy Board, explained that the bill was founded on the report of a select committee of the House of Commons, who had carefully investigated tho manner in which the Conservancy had been performed since 1857, when the settlement referred to was arrived at. He added, in reply to Mr Hartridgei that the bill had been in troduced by the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, and not at the instigation of the Conservancy Commissioners. Deputy Harrison expressed in strong terms the surprise with which he had heard that it was in contemplation to set aside a charter granted by the Crown and confirmed by Parliament only a few years ago. Eventually, on the mo tion of Alderman Rose, copies of the bill, of the report, and evidence on which it was founded, and of the Act of Par- iament of 1857, which embodied the agreement effecting he compromise in question, were ordered to be sent to every member of the court. Mr Lawley brought forward a motion, of which he had given notice, to the effect that the corporation, highly appreciating the municipal institu tions which it had enjoyed for so many centuries, and believing that the time had now arrived when the privileges of self-government should be extended to those portions of the metropolis not yet intrusted with the management of their own local affairs, and desiring to aid in the accomplish ment of that result, were prepared to contribute the sum of £5,000 as a nucleus of a borough fund to each of the Par liameatary boroughs of Southwark, Westminster, Maryle bone, Lambeth, Finsbury, and the Tower Hamlets, to be paid them when these boroughs shall have obtained charters of incorporation, under the provisions of the Municipal Cor porations Act. He grounded his motion chiefly on the ten dency to spread of the obnoxious system of centralisation, which he contended was adverse to popular liberty, and of which they had examples in the administration of the poor laws and the police, and in the proceedings of the Metropo litan Board of Works, and in the changing character of the constitution of the Thames Conservancy Board. He dwelt also on the right of the metropolitan boroughs to municipal institutions, having regard to their enormously increasing population. Between 1831 and 1861, a period of 30 years, he said the population of Southwark had increased from 134,000 to 193,000, in round num b ers ; o f Westminster, from 202,000 to 254,000; o f Fi ns b ury, from 224,000 to 387,000 ; of Maryleb one , f rom 134,000 to 436,000 ; of Lam beth, from 150,000 to 294,300 ; and of the Tower itamlets, from 302,000 to 647,000. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rudkin. On the other hand, Mr. Anderton ridiculed the idea of the Corporation of London expending £30,000 in an enterprise so Quixotic—and Mr. De Jersey opposed the motion, contending that the Common Council ought to be above the attempt to maintain the prestige of the Corpora tion by seeking to obtain municipal institutions for agglo merations of parishes throughout the metropolis. Deputy Elliott deprecated the Corporation interfering in the manage ment of other people's affairs to the neglect of their own. The motion was received with little sympathy, and at one time the Court was very nearly being counted out. Mr Medwin spoke in favour of the proposition. as holding out the right hand of f e ll ows hi p to the met ropol i tan i commun i! Y• by whom the Corp orat i on of London was regarded with envy. Mr. 11. L owman Taylor contende d t h a t t h e metro politan borough s h a d the power of establishing municipal institutions for themselve s if they wished, w ithout _ any was as sistance from th e C orporat i on o f L o ndon.

Browne i ßr r, and in b s for the Committee, repor t e d that they had accepted, subject to Robinson f or the erect i on o f improved 011 f as labouring p oor, at t h e su m of £7,043. The report N\ adopted. The beautiful chateau of Chenoncoaux, on the Loire, which has for some time been advertised for sale, has just been purchased by M. Pelouze, a son of the celebrated chemist and a member of the Institute, for 800,000 f., with the land belonging to it. This chateau was bequeathed by Catherine de Medicis to the widow of Henry 111., who gave it in marriage to her niece, the Duchess de Vendome. In 1720 it was sold by the Princess de Conde to the Duke de Bourbon, who sutsequently sold it to a farmer of taxes named Dupin, from whom, in 1729, it passed to the family of Vallet de Villeneuve.
